A new dentist office building is out for bid. Your company wants you to get started on the
estimation. The building's exterior dimensions are given below. The foundation system consists
of a 2-ft by 1-ft tall footer, a 2-ft tall by 8-in wide foundation wall, plus piers that provide support
to the interior of the structure. Each pier has a 2-ft by 2-ft by 1-ft thick concrete pad (footer)
with an 8-in by 8-in by 2-ft column that supports the building. You can assume the building pad
is level and the foundation will extend 6-in above the ground surface. The concrete will be an
Earth Form job.
Determine the mass excavation volume, the displacement created by the foundation system, the
stockpile volume, the in-place backfill volume, the excess volume, and the concrete volume for
this build (yes, I want the exterior and interior foundation included in the calculations). All
volumes are to be given in cubic yards. The soil swell is 25% and the soil shrink is 15%.
Show all calculations.
